Do you already own any of those parts?

Change the Core i5 with a Core i3-4150 and buy a GTX 750Ti or R7 265. Motherboard, anyone with the H97 chipset. PSU must be a good brand for safety, like XFX, Corsair, Antec, etc. I'm no expert in PSU so i can't make a specific model suggestion. RAM, any 2 x 4GB 1600MHz kit. Any other hardware is up to you.

I don't really know the availability in the Philippine so will you be shipping from the US ?

Brunostako · Aug 20, 2014

Also, from AMD, you can go with a Athlon 760K and any motherboard with the A78 or A88X chipset. Everything else is the same.

Brunostako :

No i dun have any parts, as of now i have dualcore with 9400gt GPU(i bought this 2009 kinda outdated xD) so im planning to build a new pc

Dayumm · Aug 20, 2014

TopLuca :

I dont have any paypal/credit cards so i dont do shipping..

ill buy it cash from local store here
can you suggest me some parts hehe

Proofy · Aug 21, 2014

With 600$ you definitelly can't buy an i5 with proper motherboard and gtx 650 from a local store... and decend case for cooling... Even the build I have send you costs a bit more than 100$...

I suggest to go for AMD and Radeon then.. they are cheaper and have close performance to i5 and nvidia

Dayumm · Aug 21, 2014

Proofy :

im not really familiar on amd processors( coz i dunno whats the latest and its equivalent on intel processors) but i think ill replace the i5 on my list if it not suit on my budget..btw can you give me the exact name of the amd process thats almost equal to i5 and what type of radeon you telling

thanks for the reply =)

Brunostako · Aug 21, 2014

The lowest 4th gen Core i5 is the 4430 (2 cores/ 4 threads), which performs almost equally to the AMD FX-6300 (3 modules/ 6 threads) in multi threaded tasks, but in single threaded tasks the Core i5 performs about 30% better (performance numbers taken from cpubenchmark.net).

If what you want is a budget gaming PC, you don't need a Core i5, with a Core i3 is enough, and the rest goes to the graphics card mainly.

Proofy · Aug 21, 2014

Agree with brunostako..

Get i3 4130 cpu, ASUS H81M-A motherboard (cheaper) or Gigabyte GA-B85-HD3 (expensier) and gtx750ti if you can... if not gtx 750

power supply, get anything with 600W from xfx/seasonic/corsair that is bronze certified or higher...

Dayumm · Aug 21, 2014

Proofy :

I think i3 is enough then ill go for gtx750 or 750ti depends if i can add a lil bit money XD
btw whats a good cooling fan because ill not use water cooling thanks!

Brunostako · Aug 21, 2014

Well, it would be kind of a waste of money an aftermarket cooler for the core i3 because it's not a hot CPU, even more if you're in a budget. But if you don't want to use the stock cooler, I suggest the cooler master hyper tx3, it's good and cheap.

It would be better if you use the money for the cooler and invest on a good PSU. If at the end you have money left, then buy the less important stuff.

Dayumm · Aug 22, 2014

Brunostako :

Oh wait...where can i get the stock cooler does processors include cooler?
Sorry idk. XD

Brunostako · Aug 22, 2014

Proofy · Aug 22, 2014

Yes every cpu you buy comes with the stock cooler, ans trust me stock cooler is fine for i3. Buy seasonic or evga power supply 600-650W instead of wasting money on cpu cooler... After 6 months of using your computer just buy new thermal paste ( arctic mx-4 or silver5) and change it. You can also buy few additional case fans that are not so expensive..

Dayumm · Aug 22, 2014

Proofy :

Oh thanks for the info

Dayumm · Aug 22, 2014

Guys tell me if its ok

MOBO: Asus H81M-A h81 - 2695 PHP (61.41 USD)

CPU: INTEL CORE I3-4130 processor- 4995 PHP(113.82 USD)

GPU: GTX750TI (MSI GTX750TI TWIN FROZR IV OC 2GB DDR5 128BIT N750Ti TF 2GD5/OC
OR
ASUS GTX750TI 2GB DDR5 128BIT (GTX750TI-OC-2GD5) video card) = 8500PHP (193.68 USD) OR GTX750 - 7100PHP(161.78 USD)

PSU: CORSAIR VS650 650W power supply -2650 PHP(60.38 USD)
RAM: GSKILL RIPJAWSX 8GB 1600MHz (F3-12800CL10S-8GBXL) memory x1 -4050 PHP(92.28 USD)

HDD: TOSHIBA 1TB - 2700 PHP (61.52 USD)

CASE: AEROCOOL VS-3 BLACK case -1600 PHP(36.46 USD)

TOTAL = 27190 PHP (619.55 USD)

Is there any incompatibility here?

thanks!

Proofy · Aug 22, 2014

Yes everything is good... I would pick ASUS GTX750ti, and instead of Toshiba HDD I would pick Seagate 1TB model: ST1000DM003 if you can find it

Dayumm · Aug 22, 2014

Proofy :

Ok ill try to get the seagate..but one last question is 550w psu(corsair) is enough on this system or i really need the 650w ?
but its ok its only 10USD difference according on the price list where i can buy the parts XD

Thank you

Proofy · Aug 22, 2014

If it is only 10$ difference go with 650w because its better if psu uses only like 60-80% of its power and you can always add some other component in pc coz you have enough watts for it

Brunostako · Aug 22, 2014

Your build looks good. I will point out 2 things:

1. Even when is not very significant, you should use a 2 x 4GB RAM kit instead of 1 x 8GB RAM. Dual channel does help a little in general (gaming included).

2. This is even less significant, i recommend using a motherboard with the H97 chipset (the one you looked has H81 chipset) because it allows you to upgrade your CPU in the near future if you ever want. But if never gonna do it or do it in 3 years or more, stay with the H81. By that moment there will be new platforms.

Out of those thing, everything is ok.

Dayumm · Aug 22, 2014

Thank you guys for the info. and response!

patrichpachich · Aug 28, 2014

Bro eto build mo panigurado sakto ang budget mo. kase nag babase lang naman sila dito, masmura ang mga piyesa sa US kaya in the end pag binuo mo to sa pinas, mahal.

I5 4460= 8.1k
Gigabyte H97M D3H = 4.2k
Palit GTX 750 Ti 2Gb Stormx Dual fan= 7.2k
Kingston HyperX Fury 4gb 4gbx1 DDR3 1600 CL9 = 2k
Seasonic S12II 520w 80+bronze - 2.7k
WDC Blue 1Tb = 2.6k
AEROCOOL VS-3 BLACK case -1.6k

total = 28,500 PHP

kahit paano future proof itong i5 nato. magdagdag kalang ng isapang Kingston HyperX Fury 4gb in the future makakalaro kana ng mga latest games Hi res.
